Thank you Stefania, Mike and Cyn. I've waited a long time to be able to get someone to bring me a horse to photograph in the mustard. I was so excited to get these and the light was just wonderful! #5511743Erika Haight February 18, 2008
Brilliant capture Dianna! I love the color of that grass! erika #5511747Dianna Murphy February 18, 2008
Thank you Erika! Its actually mustard - it flowers and you can even eat the young leaves. It is plentiful in my area. I'm surrounded by vineyard and the mustard is planted as a "cover" crop. In April, it will be plowed under to return organic matter and therefore nutrients to the soil. Where Woody is standing there was once a vineyard and will be again but in the meantime is a photographers dream. #5511768Ray Clarke February 18, 2008
